Summary
This region is known to undergo non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) with another region, the AZFb P5.2 recombination region, located about 7.6 Mb centromere-proximal to this region. NAHR between these regions can result in a deletion of the large intervening sequence, and is known as a P5/distal-P1 deletion, causing azoospermia. This region is contained within a large palindromic region known as P1 (palindrome 1). AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc have been defined as regions on chromosome Yq11, each containing multiple genes. Deletions in any of these regions can cause spermatogenic defects. NAHR between this region and the AZFb P5.2 recombination region removes the AZFb region and part of the AZFc region. This region contains both an NAHR exchange region and a meiotic recombination hotspot. Nearby NAHR regions and non-homologous recombination exchange regions have also been identified.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
